What do you mean by "unbound fructose"? I assume fruit juices etc? Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate says "eat plenty of fruits", which says contrary to the advice given by many commenters here.

It's very hard to ingest too much fructose by eating oranges. Drinking orange juice on the other hand...

Personally we eat eggs. Though increased consumption of animal protein (including eggs) is tied to increased cancer risk.

My bumper-sticker answer is basically that paleo proposes some of the right things but for the wrong reasons.
Avoiding processed foods and refined sugar is good. Avoiding dairy is good. But there's no reason in general to avoid cereal grains, legumes or potatoes unless you're sensitive/allergic.
And higher-quality meat is an improvement over the status quo but a vegetarian diet is likely to be healthier.
But all that is me talking, not my wife. I suspect she would say similar things but honestly we don't spend a lot of time discussing the random fad diet book du-jour.
But if you want to know what we believe to be true about which foods are healthy, there's probably no better starting point than Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate.
